Just a reminder for those in TV.... Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch at approx 2:01pm. The launch window actually starts at 1:40 but they are shooting for 2:01. Look to the East!!! Daytime launches are not as spectacular as nighttime but visible from TV nonetheless.

Thanks for the reminder, 07. Is Truman Center a good place to view it in the day time like it is at night? I agree, can't be as spectacular as the night time launch was but worth while to see I'm sure.

Interesting article about a Villages resident who worked on many shuttles.
